The Long Becoming

Scripture  

Philippians 1:6 (NRSV)  

I am confident of this,  

that the one who began a good work among you  

will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ.

Refrain  

I am being shaped by grace.

Quote

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin  

“Above all, trust in the slow work of God.  

We are quite naturally impatient in everything  

to reach the end without delay.  

We should like to skip the intermediate stages.  

But growth is a process of becoming,  

and it takes time.  

Only God could say what this new spirit  

gradually forming within you will be.  

Give our Lord the benefit of believing  

that His hand is leading you,  

and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself  

in suspense and incomplete.”
